In an era of overwhelming global health issues, would you like to know what a career in public health looks like? Well… here is your chance to get it straight from the horse’s mouth.

Join us at the Torquay Library to hear from three epidemiologists at different stages of their careers. Find out about their motivations and passions, their experience in the field and in the lab, how they got their start and where they are today.
